# Setting up NU-GSuite Accounts
The University of Nebraska is primarly a Microsoft-based campus. As a result, by default most users do not have university-provided Google accounts — a prerequisite to use the Grade Nudge software. Central ITS, however, has provided a means to request university-provided Google accounts.
### Requesting a NU-GSuite Account
If you are part of the Grade Nudge Training Program, we will request a NU-GSuite account for you. You ***do not*** need to follow the instructions in this section and should [skip to the next section](#once-you-receive-the-nu-gsuite-email). We are paying for these accounts with a grant. If you are ***not*** part of the training program, you can request an account by filling out [this form](https://its-forms.nebraska.edu/220194686630862).
Before filling out the form, you will need a couple of pieces of information. First, Central ITS has shifted the cost of NU-GSuite accounts from them to other parts of the university. While the cost is only $4 per month ($48 a year), this does mean you need a cost object number. Talk to the business manager for your unit for this number once you have approval.
Once you have the necessary information, select that you need a new license on the form. The top part of the form should be filled out for you. In the search box, type in "Workspace". This will result in the Google Workspace offering appearing. Check the box, and enter a quantity of 1.
In the bottom portion of the form, enter "Grade Nudge" as the justification for the account. As Grade Nudge requires a Google account, and ITS wants to control the Google accounts used for Grade Nudge, this should be sufficient justification.
Select your campus (e.g., Omaha) and enter your department. Enter the numeric characters only in the cost object number (e.g., no spaces or dashes). Finally, enter your campus email address and select that you understand in the final question.
#### Once you receive the NU-GSuite email
Whether you are part of the Grade Nudge Training Program or requested the NU-GSuite account, you will receive an email asking you to navigate to [this page](https://nusupport.nebraska.edu/TDClient/33/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=351).
Make sure to open a browser or profile not currently logged in to a personal Google account. One easy way to do this is to add a profile in Chrome for the university-issued Google account. [Follow the instructions here, to create a new profile](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824?hl=en\&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop) in Google Chrome. ***We highly recommend you setup a separate profile in Google Chrome.*** While Nudge supports all major browsers, having an isolated environment for this special university-issued account will remove many complications for you. Once you are in a new profile, navigate to [drive.google.com](https://drive.google.com/).
Click the sign in button and enter your ITS supplied Google account (ending in @nugsuite.nebraska.edu). This will trigger the TrueYou sign in sequence.
You should be directed to your university-issued Google Drive account. [Follow these instructions to use Nudge for the first time](/usage-details/running-grade-nudge-for-the-first-time.md).
